Abstract :
The present study was done to compare the
quality of life among patients who have undergone PTCA
and CABG. The objectives of the study were, to assess the
quality of life of patients who have undergone PTCA, to
assess the quality of life of patients who have undergone
CABG, to compare the quality of life of patients who have
undergone PTCA and CABG, find out the association
between quality of life scores of patients who have
undergone PTCA and CABG with the selected
demographic and clinical variables. The sample consisted
of 100 patients, 50 patients who have undergone PTCA
and 50 patients who have undergone CABG who were
selected by purposive sampling technique. The design
used was descriptive research design with quantitative
approach. The tools used were Structured Questionnaire
on socio demographic and clinical data and WHOQOLBREF questionnaire to assess the quality of life. The data
was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
The findings of the study depicted that 44% of samples
who have undergone PTCA and 66% of samples who have
undergone CABG had good quality of life. The study
findings revealed that there was significant difference (t
=2.336, p=0.02) in the quality of life among patients who
have undergone PTCA and CABG. The study concluded
that patients who have undergone CABG have overall
good quality of life than that of patients who have
undergone PTCA. The study findings showed that there
was significant association between quality of life of
patients who have undergone PTCA and level of
education (Fishers exact significance= 0.015), ejection
fraction (Fishers exact significance= 0.013), and history of
hospitalization due to cardiac cause (Fishers exact
significance= 0.014). The study findings revealed that
there was significant association between quality of life of
patients who have undergone CABG
